I think we all enjoy it when President Trump zings his opponents. Renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America was a nice shot at the stuffed-shirt Canadian leader, Mark Carney. The problem is, it distracts from the much more important story. That Carney has basically sold out our once strong ally to the Red Chinese, turning Canada into a smuggling depot. To allow Chinese steel, aluminum, and other goods to evade our tariffs. That’s the real reason for Carney’s temper tantrum breaking off tariff talks, and he needs to be called on it.

Pres. Trump has had many great successes this last term, but he needs to talk about them, because the legacy media certainly won’t.

While Pres. Trump is trying to end the tyranny of the Iranian regime and bring permanent peace to the Middle East- that will take a little longer, and gas prices will be high for months ahead. But the price we are paying is pretty small — a year of Biden-level fuel costs and a lot of Navy sailors getting cabin fever on extended deployment.
The American people will back their President on the use of force if they know it’s for a great cause and every precaution is taken to preserve our soldiers. So far, just 18 American servicemen have been killed. President Trump unfortunately called this small potatoes. He needs to learn to be much more respectful when discussing this topic. This is a tiny cost to our country, but it is everything to the families of those men lost.
Where Pres. Trump does need to focus his trolling and sarcasm is on the Democrats’ latest awful idea. Medicare For All. Even the Washington Post admits this would mean trillions in new taxes for health services the current system cannot begin to provide.
Pres. Trump and Republican paid media should run clips of President Obama selling the last big idea the Democrats had: If we liked our doctor or our health plan, we could keep them. And we would save $2,500 a family every year in the bargain. How did that turn out?
